B&Q issues recall over injury risk

DIY chain B&Q has issued a recall after it emerged that one of its products could pose an injury risk to users.

A warning has been issued over a hedge trimmer which has a motor that could fail and fragments could be ejected through the casing vents, causing injury.

The hedge trimmer in question

The Mac Allister 710W electric hedge trimmer was sold in B&Q stores between January 2015 and September 2016 and anyone who has purchased one has been asked to return it to a B&Q store immediately for a full refund.
